What made you decide on the Midwest rail? After reading all those links you posted that barrel sounds pretty dang good. It's a toss up for my next build of a 20" barrel from this guys on a seekins receiver set or a 458 socom build.

What triggers do you use? I installed the gieselle SSA-E trigger in my PSA gun and its awesome. No more creep and a smooth break. Think I'm going to leave it in there and buy a match trigge for the 300.

I bought it due to weight, looks, length, and price. I wanted 15", and no one had the Seekins BAR at the time I wanted a rail. I found a good deal and pulled the trigger. Not my first choice, but many suggested them, so I ran with it.

I currently have the Spike's Battle Trigger. I may upgrade for my next build, or send it off to Bill Springfield. I like the skeleton style triggers. But the cost turns me off.

Bill doesn't really do anything that you can't do yourself with the help of YouTube and some new springs. This last order with midway I got an AR builders book that's suppose to cover trigger work and a lot of other goodies.

true, but I'd rather just pay for the work than buy a dremel at this point. I really could use a dremel, but I have rare occasions when I need one. You're really paying for the convenience and skill.

You can do your own trigger work with a set screw and springs.. its very easy..turns the crappy .gov trigger into a decent one. but no match trigger.

I run Jards in mine and they are still working just fine after quite a few rounds.
had a primer blow out and get hung up on the sear of the hammer.. it chipped the corner off when i started beating on the gun with a hammer to get it apart. Still rocking.

the battle trigger from Spike's seems to do fine, but I don't have anything "better" to compare it to.

jard single stage adjustable.. 1.5# in my 24" and a 3# in my truck gun.

but on the factory trigger, jp interprise springs and a set screw makes it much much better.

the 3# is bout as light as i wanna go on the truck rifle.. its heavy enough to keep it safe,, but light enough i never think about pulling the trigger. cross hairs get on target and the gun goes off.. its pretty weird.

use to be take a breath and keep pulling on the trigger till it went offf.. that didnt last long. had a jard in it in no time.


my mind is blank right now but the upgraded trigger/Hammer pins with holders? Those are quite handy.. ive broken about 4 trigger pins over the years. they break right in the center where the detent notch is.. Keep the new ones oiled up and slick, very nice.
